The tool currently outputs a template of a Debian DEP-5 file when you do `reuse init`. But the purpose of that file for REUSE is to cover the files that are not covered by comment headers. e.g., instead of adding headers to all files in `img/`, you add a paragraph in `.reuse/dep5` that globs all files in `img/` under a certain license. If you want to output a Debian DEP-5 file for use in Debian packaging, this should be incredibly easy. `reuse spdx` outputs an (XML) SPDX file, which details the copyright and license of each individual file. You'd then only need to write a small conversion tool to generate the DEP-5 file. Alternatively, it would be really easy to support such a generator out of the box within the tool itself. It's not a priority, but I'll happily take PRs. There is no current plan to package for Debian, though I have desired to get this done at some point. The problem is that I do not understand Debian packaging in the slightest. I do maintain the Fedora package, but it's a little out-of-date because of a missing dependency in the 0.4.X release.
